[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 1046240, member: 211504"] I think your diet deserves more respect than comparing it to the Paleo diet. "The Paleo Diet" is kind of like Crossfit. There's really nothing unique or scientific about it and it's developed a cult following largely because of some very smart marketing individuals. Like Crossfit, I have to assume that half of the program is about recruiting new members because every single person who does Crossfit and follows a Paleo diet has to brag about it on Facebook and reminds people about it as much as possible. In all seriousness (although I was 90% serious with my previous comments), the Paleo Diet is good for accountability which can be very helpful in achieving success. There are a lot of people following the Paleo Diet right now and it's definitely one of the more popular fad diets out there. In contrast, many people on this forum follow some variation of a low-carb diet (Paleo is one loose variation) myself included. However, it's not very sexy to tell people that you're "Low carb," and you'll get way more likes on Facebook if you tell everyone you're "Paleo." Long story short, it's not a bad diet to follow if you need something structured, but long-term you'll probably have to customize it more towards your lifestyle. [/QUOTE]
